All Blacks legend Ma'a Nonu has signed for French giants Toulon at the age of 42.
The shock transfer was announced on Tuesday, with the centre joining former Wales star Dan Biggar in the south of France for the rest of the season.
Nonu has been playing rugby in America for Major League Rugby side San Diego Legion but has now moved to France as a medical joker amid injury troubles. He became a club legend in his first stint between 2015 and 1019, before returning for a second short spell in 2020.

He is available for the weekend Top 14 match against Lyon and will become the oldest player ever to take the field in France's top competition when he does play.
Nonu won 103 caps for the All Blacks between 2003 to 2015, winning the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups.
Toulon are currently second in the Top 14 table, just three points off defending European and French champions Toulouse.
“Welcome back. Ma’a Nonu is back on the Rade as a medical joker until the end of the season,” a statement on the club’s official X account read.
